HOW GORGEOUS GEORGE IS Gorgeous George, which opened in April last year, is one of two South African members of the coveted German-headquartered global luxury hotel group Design Hotels. The hotel was designed by international awardwinning interior designer Tristan du Plessis, who created a concept celebrating contemporary African design and showcasing locally manufactured high-end timeless South African furniture. Lighting and furniture were sourced from David Krynauw, Gregor Jenkin, Studio 19 and Douglas&Co, while murals from artist David Brits are featured in each of the 32 luxe rooms, which range from studios to 1- and 2-bedroom suites. The hotel’s star attraction is its indoor/outdoor rooftop bar and restaurant, Gigi Rooftop, which opens out on to a stunning wood and terracotta pool deck that’s home to an emerald-green glasspanelled swimming pool.
